I apologize, folks…I know it seems like I’ve been MIA lately, but to tell you the truth, after getting back from Bible school I’m having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. Add to my lack of inspiration the fact that two days after I got home, my computer developed a nasty virus and has been virtually unusable…yeah, that’s why I haven’t been around much. I’m trying to get back on my feet, though, and I’m tentatively planning on investing in a new computer this week, so hopefully things are on the upswing.

When you’re lacking inspiration in the kitchen but still feel like you need to be concocting new recipes for your blog, your mind starts drifting to post ideas like “Quick Snacks and Meals”, “5 Ingredient Favorites”, and “Kitchen Tips for the Hopelessly Lazy”. Therefore, I give you this quick, 5-ingredient snack/dessert/breakfast.

You want to know why this recipe is awesome? I’ll give you a nice, neat, bulleted list of reasons:

Heat the almond milk until boiling. Stir in the gelatin and let set a few minutes to cool down a bit.

Blend all the ingredients together until completely smooth (I use my Ninja single-serve cup). Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for several hours until thick. Enjoy!

For a larger, more Jello-salad-ish version, bloom 2 tsp. Knox gelatin in 1½ cups of almond milk for 5 minutes, then heat just until boiling. Blend this hot mixture with 1 cup of sliced peaches (thawed if frozen), ½ cup low fat cottage cheese, 5 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder, and a dash of salt until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for several hours until firm. Yields 4 servings.

Notes

If you use berries (I would use ⅓ - ½ cup), this would actually be a Fuel Pull for Trim Healthy Mamas (low-carb and low-fat).Feel free to stir in chunks of fruit after blending, if you wish.If you want a thicker "Jello" consistency, add more gelatin.

Hi Briana 🙂 I read your post with great interest, did you see my recipe I posted yesterday on the THM Menn. page? That one was a “S”. Yours looks more creamy in the pic. I like whipped cream added in mine then it’s more fluffy and creamy like pudding. But for a fuel pull recipe or E, this is great! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Oh, and my recipe lasts for several days, so this one would too, I’m sure.

I would say you should probably add a few more carbs and a little more protein. Maybe make a double batch of the pudding if you’re going to use it as breakfast, that way you have 2/3 cup of cottage cheese (protein) and a whole peach (enough carbs to put this into solid E territory).
